Name That Trauma :: Reader MD2112 on an Indigo Man Art Book

First of all, a big shout-out to the readers for helping me solve my last Name That Trauma about artist Laurie Lipton that I posted back in October.

My next query is also art-related. When I was around 9 years old (circa 1981), my family and I visited my ‘hipster’ uncle’s house. He was always very avant-garde and into all sorts of art, music, and film. During our visit there, I came across a coffee-table book he had that was about a group of humanoid characters that were like colors personified. There was a yellow man, a red man, but the one that stuck out in my mind was an indigo man, mainly because I had never heard that word before. I don’t remember much about the theme or the story of the book, but the paintings/drawings had such a surreal quality that they stick in my mind to this day.

I’d love to find out what the book was and the name of the artist, anybody? Bueller? Beuller?

The only thing i can find is a Neil Gaiman book called The Graveyard Book. In it there’s a character called “The Indigo Man.” But this is a novel not an illustrated book (though Gaiman is responsible for several graphic novels, comics).
